So, I have gotten a little crazy with my reading goals for this year. I have a goal of reading 12 educational books, 12 content related books, 12 books on parenting, 12 books on my faith and 12 books on how not to kill my husband. If you're not good at math let me add those up for you: yep that's 60 books per year or 5 a month. I try not to be an obnoxious reader, I really do. I recently went to Boston and found that trying to ask a question to a reader on a subway is like asking them if they want a root canal...right in that moment. So, even though I try to be a gracious reader, I read everywhere to try to get these goals accomplished! Some may say..."gee, I think this is overkill." To that I might add - reading these books has changed my life completely!! I figured you probably do not care about the majority of my reading lists but maybe my educational books might help you too. Our goal is to take tips from these books and make put them in our videos so you don't even have to read them if you don't have time!
